Thomas Metcalfe, Governor, Acts Passed at the First Session of The Thirty-Eight 
General Assembly for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Begun and Held in the Town 
of Frankfort, on Monday the seventh day of December, in the year of our Lord 
one thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine, and of the Commonwealth the thirty-
eighth, (Frankfort:  J. G. Dana and A. G. Hodges, Public Printers, 1830), 238-
239. 
“Whereas, the Wayne county court granted to Alexander Thompson, a certificate 
for one hundred acres of land, and for a valuable consideration, the said 
Thompson sold and transferred said certificate to Elias Cox, on which 
certificate two dollars and twenty-one cents had been paid into the public 
treasury, the balance remains unpaid; that subsequent to the assignment, the 
surveyor executed a survey on said certificate, bounded as follows:  “Beginning 
on three white oaks on a hill side, south west corner of Alexander Thompson’s 
field, about twenty poles from the corner of the fence, running north seven 
degrees west, twenty-four poles, to a white oak, dogwood and hickory, thence 
north, forty-eight degrees west, fourteen poles to two white oaks, Thompson’s 
corner, then north thirty-seven degrees east, fifty-four poles to a chinquipin, 
white oak and walnut, on the side of a branch, thence up the branch with its 
meanders, north thirty-three degrees west, ninety poles, north twenty-one west, 
twenty-eight poles to a cedar and elm, thence south seventy-four degrees west, 
seventy-eight poles to a cedar, thence north twenty-five west, twelve poles to 
two dogwoods, thence south thirty-nine west, twenty-six poles to two walnuts, 
thence south twenty-three east, sixty-four poles to a post oak and walnut, 
Samuel Turpin’s corner, south forty-six, west fifty poles to a small white oak 
and dogwood, thence south twenty-five east, twenty poles to a white oak and 
dogwood, thence south eighty-two east, one hundred and sixty-four poles to the 
beginning:  and whereas, the said Elias Cox has departed this life, leaving a 
widow and several infant children, who have petitioned the Legislature to remit 
to them the balance of the State price and issue to them a patent for said 
land, which petition is considered reasonable, in consequence of the poverty of 
the widow and children of said Cox:  For remedy whereof,  Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, That the residue of the State 
price of said land be, and the same is hereby remitted to said widow and heirs, 
and that the Register of the land office, as soon as practicable, issue to the 
heirs of said Elias Cox, deceased, patent for said land:  Provided however, 
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as to prejudice the right of 
the said widow to dower in said land, or the right of any other person to said 
land.”
